Overview
Duration
1 day of 6 learning hours
Purpose/scope
The purpose of the Introduction to spray painting using HVLP equipment - refresher standard is for delegates who have previously passed training to the Introduction to spray painting using HVLP equipment standard or subsequent refresher training and can provide proof of attendance.
Occupational relevance
Training delivered against this standard would be relevant to the following occupational groups:
- operative and craft
Delegates pre-requisites
Delegates must have successfully completed training to the Introduction to spray painting using HVLP equipment standard or subsequent refresher 5 years prior to attending this refresher.
Instruction/supervision
As a minimum, course trainers must be able to demonstrate that, in relation to this standard, they have:
- an award in education and training (or equivalent, as per requirements for approved training organisations)
- successfully completed training to this standard
- at least 2 years relevant industrial experience
- a verifiable CV
Delivery
Delivery is in an off the job environment. Suitable areas must be available in the workshops to give enough spraying experience to the students. There needs to be a classroom environment to cover the underpinning knowledge.
All materials and equipment must be of a suitable quality and quantity for candidates to achieve learning outcomes and must comply with relevant legislation.
Materials must be from a range of manufacturers to give the student and understanding of what different brands of paint are like to spray.
The class size and candidate/instructor ratio must allow training to be delivered in a safe manner and enable candidates to achieve the learning outcomes. A maximum class size of 6 students to 1 tutor is recommended.
The following delivery methods may be used in the delivery of this standard:
- classroom/workshop
This standard is considered to contain 51% or more practical training.
This standard is considered to be set at a basic level.
Assessment
Methods of assessment considered appropriate for training delivered against this standard are:
For the successful completion of training, the trainer must be satisfied that the delegate has achieved all learning outcomes.
Quality assurance
Assured
Quality assurance against this standard will require initial approval of the training organisation and their content mapped to the standard.
CITB will also conduct an approval intervention, either desk-based or centre visit, to ensure the training organisation can meet the requirements of the training standard.
Approved training organisations (ATOs) will be required to present information on records of training and assessment upon request to CITB for desk-based analysis. They will also be visited annually by the CITB quality assurance team.
Renewal
Refresher every 5 years
Classification
Recommended Refresher
Buffer/grace period
6 months
Approval date
November 2019
Review cycle
On request or 3 years from approval date.
Learning outcomes to be refreshed
|
The delegate will be able to: |
Additional guidance to support learning outcome |
|---|---|
|
The student will know the parts of a turbine, compressor and guns |
This include needle sets, turbine types (3 stage, 4 stage etc) and compressor types. This would also include looking at the difference between different brands of HVLP (for example Graco and Fuji) and explaining the pros and cons for each. |
|
The student will know what different types of spray guns there are on the market and the advantages and disadvantages for each |
This includes, conventional spray guns, HVLP and LVLP and also turbine guns. |
|
The student will understand the difference between a turbine system and a compressor system and the advantages and disadvantages of each |
Mainly pressure and overspray differences however there are price differences too. |
|
The student will understand paint technology so that they can prepare the paint to be sprayed using a HVLP system |
This will involve demonstrating how much paint needs to be thinned before it can be sprayed using a HVLP spray gun. It will also compare the data sheets of three different paint manufacturers to demonstrate how different paints need to be handled before they can be sprayed to achieve a professional finish. |
|
The student will understand how to set up a compressor to get the correct pressure at the gun |
This will look at the controls on the compressor as well as water traps and pressure gauges. |
|
The student will be able to use the controls on a HVLP gun correctly to get the desired fan pattern and fluid delivery |
The two main controls on a HVLP gun control the fan width and the amount of fluid (paint) delivered when the trigger is fully pulled. Various exercises will teach the student to fully understand each control and how they are used in tandem to get exactly the fan pattern that is needed for a particular surface. |
|
The student will be able to set up the HVLP gun with the compressor and change the settings to get the correct fan pattern |
Although very similar to setting up the turbine gun there are some differences when using the compressor. The main one being the control of the pressure. Turbine pressure is fixed, and the compressor is variable. |
Additional information about this standard
This standard is not only designed to introduce decorators to the use of HVLP spraying systems it is also designed to help them get the best out of the equipment that they already have in a wide range of typical decorative situations.
